The Best Unplayed Hands

I was grinding it out on a 1/2 limit table with a LAG on my right. I had already decided this was my last round. Just biding my time until the blinds hit me when this hand came up UTG + 1. Of course you have to play it.

After that stellar [moon]* play I was content to leave the table with LAG's donation. I picked up this hand UTG and didn't think twice about folding it UNTIL I saw this flop.

Sigh. I know we all have these but this is by far the sickest one I have seen so far.

Leave me a comment about your Best Unplayed Hand!
